Meager N. (1984) Job loss and the regions: how important is redundancy?, Reg. Studies 18, 459–467. The paper argues that the common emphasis, when comparing job losses between regions or industries etc, on net employment decline, and on redundancy as the major component of it, may be misplaced, and may conceal important differences between the regions or industries compared. The argument is illustrated with data from a local labour market (Motherwell) and with official data on the British regions. It is shown, in particular, that when considered as a component of gross employment change, redundancy may not dominate job loss. Future work should therefore concentrate to a greater extent on gross changes, and on non-redundancy methods of job loss
